Zayn Malik has revealed he "always wanted" to leave One Direction, quickly realizing the type of music the band were producing "wasn't for me".
The band, comprising Zayn, Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson, were formed on "The X Factor" in 2010 and remained a five piece until Zayn announced his departure from the group in March 2015, reported Daily Mirror.
"I just gave it a go because it was there at the time. I think I kinda always wanted to go. From the first year, I never really wanted to be there in the band.
"When I realised the direction that we were going in, mind the pun, with the music, I instantly realised it wasn't for me.
